The best solution, imho. Been around for a long time and so notorious it got removed for DMCA violations on github and gitlab so it had to move to a service outside US copyright cabal jurisdictions.

I think that’s generally agreed and no one seems entirely sure why catfriend1 chooses to do it this way.

There’s a few different ways for you to probe for info on your USB devices:

lsusb - lists pretty much everything usb related, including root hubs on your motherboard

For a more readable lsusb output you can lsusb -v | grep -E '\<(Bus|iProduct|bDeviceClass|bDeviceProtocol)' 2>/dev/null in my experience it can be helpful to slap a sudo on the beginning as well because sometimes certain devices can’t be polled without root privileges.

usb-devices - similar to lsusb but produces much more detailed (but less human readable) information

find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev - produces a list of where the system saves information on usb devices. Each of the listed folders will hold a lot of files with a wealth of information on each usb device, but be very careful and do not edit these files.

You can also do this to see what the system is doing in the background and then try plugging and unplugging devices from the offending usb ports:

watch "dmesg | tail -20"

You’ll at least be able to see if the system is registering anything at all when trying to use those ports, or if it’s as though the system doesn’t see them at all.

I have a similar issue on my Lenovo ThinkBook but the ports don’t work in any OS despite being enabled in the UEFI. I still haven’t figured out what is wrong with them, but it seems they may just be toast. Thankfully the USB-C ports still work and I can just connect a hub to one of those.

Well, as OP mentioned, and others have speculated in the official syncthing forums, apparently catfriend1 did a repository reset where they wiped everything and started over something like three times last year. So that’s still a possibility. I’m going to wait until more information comes out or until catfriend1 doesn’t come back after a month or two before I start worrying about the future of the project. Worth finding anyone who had backed up the most recent version of the repository though, just in case.

yeah catfriend1 was technically in charge of syncthing-fork before the original syncthing stopped being developed. catfriend1 in other words essentially just continued development on their fork on their own, which kept syncthing alive.

Yeah, pretty sure it was called “Fex” translation layer for emulating x86 binaries on ARM64, and to me that was absolutely the biggest takeaway, because that’s a massive game-changer for eventually moving the industry away from x86 exclusivity and into wider adoption of other architectures.

The vast majority of US “adults” never matured past middle school. This is par for the fucking course over here.

Not OP, but as someone also struggling with depression, no I wouldn’t think that being treated like this would make me want to confront these people at all as much as the OP describes, just never show my face around them again. Depression makes you want to give up, not be fucking assertive. Criminy.

For real, that’s actually the opposite of helpful. Documentation should be based on experience from use combined with discussions with the devs (providing they have the time).

Documentation documentation documentation! One of the most often overlooked and wildly important aspects of many major projects is accurate, up-to-date, and detailed documentation. If you’re not a programmer, one of the number one ways you can contribute is to help draft and produce documentation for applications you enjoy! It’s still a contribution to the project!

I always wanted to start an all-man all-theremin band called “ThereMen.”

One of my favorite memories was seeing The Octopus Project and Man or Astro-Man? live and at the end of the show the two bands had “dueling theremins” and the guy from Man or Astro-Man set his theremin on fire.

That’s all I really have to contribute here. Cool project though, I’d still rather save a hell of a lot of money for a Moog.

and almost 6 years later haven’t we learned anything?

No, no we haven’t. Our species really shows how many of us are just… primates wearing pants.

Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.

It’s not as though that power structure behind the economic system is leveraged to dismantle and destroy competing economic systems or labor rights or anything. Yeah, totally and completely separate and never the twain shall meet. The CIA definitely didn’t use economic terrorism to force countries to submit to US cartels business demands.

Nothing has ever happened, like say, the US corporations using their wealth to dominate the court systems and laws of other counties to do something like put media “pirates” calling themselves “The Pirate Bay” in prison for things that were legal in their own country to enforce the US’s own draconian capitalistic IP laws.

What an absolute crock of shit dude get a grip. Capitalism is oligarchy by any other name.

That moment when you realize you’re not in !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone and people are talking about an entirely different kind of top than you were thinking.

This is dope, though, I also thought top was just stuck in time.

Sorry I spaced on answering this but I am unfamiliar with funkwhale so I don’t really know!

G.L.O.S.S. comes to mind. Too short lived.

Not a torrent site but Soulseek/Nictone+ is a very old school Limewire-style service that you can curate with friends lists and choosing what to share and not share.

Orpheus is dedicated to music, and one other one which I forget the name of. It’s kind of interesting how music trackers were what made torrenting explore originally but not music trackers are often an afterthought.

A show I forgot from my prior post because it’s so new is Joe Cappa’s Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It’s very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.
